Command Line Interface (CLI)
CLI Command Types
This guide divides CLI Commands into two categories: Operational and Parameter Controls.
Operational CLI Commands
These commands affect Access Point behavior, such as downloading, rebooting, and so on. After entering commands
(and parameters, if any) press the Enter key to execute the Command Line.
Operational commands include:
•

after typing this command)
•
done, exit, quit: Terminates the CLI session
•
download: Uses TFTP server to download "image", "config", or "bootloader upgrade" files to Access Point

•
passwd: Sets the Access Point's CLI password
